old grace

According to Wei Qin's guidance, the Star Swallowing Sect's stronghold in Longcheng is located on Zheliu Street in Aoyingfang in the west of the city.

Counting 200 years ago, this place was still a suburb.Wuli Pavilion, Shili Pavilion, Yudai Qingbo, Weeping Willow Yiyi.It is a place where relatives and friends bid farewell to farewell when they travel westward.Over the years, the business routes leading to the Western Regions have become more and more frequent. There are tea stalls in the western suburbs, and then there are warehouses, and then there are various small merchants and hawkers who have moved here.

The old houses on Zheliu Street have been around for a long time, and most of the houses have been bought by big merchants, or they are used as lodging halls, or used to store precious goods-after all, the warehouses are noisy and chaotic, and there is no shortage of money. Merchants who want to live in a quieter and more comfortable place choose their own courtyard is the first choice.

It is also because of this that Zheliu Street is mostly high-rise buildings with closed doors, and the road is very quiet.

"Go to a tea stall, go there and ask the stall owner to buy seven iron nails and two wooden wedges, and someone from the pickle shop next door will guide us and take us to the mansion on the street ahead..." Wei Qin was in the car Whispered with Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan about the process of entering the door.

Fu Chuan is still driving.

Xie Qinghe and Donkey Dan sat in the car, Wei Qin sat on the door of the car so that both Fu Chuan and Xie Qinghe could hear his voice.

After driving so many carriages, Fu Chuan thought that his skills had reached perfection, so he flicked his whip beautifully. The two pulling horses obeyed the instructions, clucked and turned, and ran towards the direction Wei Qin pointed out.

Fu Chuan went to the long street to look carefully.

"Where is there any tea stall?" Fu Chuan asked.

Wei Qin poked his head out quickly, and saw that the long street was quiet, all the shops had their doors closed, and there were no vendors out of the stalls.

"I'm afraid it's..." Wei Qin couldn't make up his mind for a while, "Run away?"

Fu Chuan couldn't help but look back at him: "The whole street is your people?"

At Wei Qin's age, he has no access to news from too high a level. It would be good for him to know how to enter the mansion, who the houses near the mansion belong to, and whether all the shops on this street are owned by the Tunxing Sect. I don't know anything.Gritting his teeth and shaking his head: "I don't know."

"Stop the car." Xie Qinghe said suddenly.

Fu Chuan parked the car on the side of the street, got out of the car first, and stood by the car to help Xie Qinghe.

Xie Qinghe looked at the shop with the signboard of "Huangji Pickles" and pushed the small door that passed through. There was a creak, but the door was not locked.

The door panels were not removed, and the light could not come in. The huge house was only illuminated by a bright tile above the head, and the whole room was gloomy, filled with a strong smell of pickles.Many pots that should be placed under the porch are now piled up in the shop, and the passage has become narrow.

Xie Qinghe walked forward along the narrow passage and approached the small courtyard, but there was no one in the shop.

Fu Chuan followed behind him and looked around, with a very ugly expression on his face.

"It's like this again." Fu said.

Xie Qinghe stood in the courtyard, looking around quietly.

Fu Chuan was angry and pushed all the doors open.To his surprise, he did not find dead bodies all over the floor. The room was clean, and the tables, chairs, and benches were neatly arranged, as if the owner's family had gone away with relatives and was not at home for the time being.

This made Fu Chuan hesitate.

"I thought this place was also slaughtered, and it was going to be planted on my head..."

But it looks peaceful here.

The house was cleaned up, and there was no trace of dust on the furniture.

If Wei Qin hadn't pointed out in advance that there was a pickle shop here, and knew that the pickle shop was an outpost of the Swallowing Star Sect, no one would have doubted that there was something wrong with this clean and dead room.

"Could it be that the evil cult monsters withdrew earlier when they received the news of Mo Qiangwei and her master's death?" Fu said.

After killing Mo Qiangwei and Shangguanying that day, Fu Chuan and Xie Qinghe only took away the carriage and did not dispose of the corpses at all.

When Sheng Tonghe's caravan saw Miss San's body, they would definitely be shocked, so they immediately notified Wu Xing's family, and they might even report to the officials for help immediately.There are many channels through which information leaks.

They walked leisurely all the way to Beijing, and it was not surprising that they fell after the news of Miss San's death.

"Think again." Xie Qinghe said.

Fu Chuan ran into the kitchen and Gong's room to take another look, and came back to share with Xie Qinghe: "There are still traces of people living in this house, and it was about three or five days before the evacuation. That is to say, in Yangliuhe and Luomashi After the accident, the pickle shop is still operating normally."

The reason why the Yangliuhe tragedy broke out was that after Fu Chuan smashed through the Swallowing Sect’s use of humans as bait to sacrifice and practice evil methods, the Swallowing Sect didn’t know Fu Chuan’s identity, and wanted to beat them back and make slaves and cannibals practice evil. For the matter, plant the spoils on Fu Chuan, and kill Fu Chuan.

In fact, the practice of Star Swallowing Cult was stupid from the beginning.

As the successor of the No. [-] sword sect in the world, Fu Chuan said that he went to practice evil skills, kept slaves and ate people, which is hard to believe.

He has the best cultivation resources and the brightest future, so there is no need to practice evil skills.It was only because the Hanjiang Sword Sect had changed masters over the years, there was some internal turmoil, and too many interests were involved in it. After the news came out, people were skeptical.

How did the Star Swallowing Sect react to this?

They are still running altars in various places arrogantly, and continue to plant and spread rumors.

An attitude of "I am very stable, I am not afraid of you".Mo Qiangwei is one of the representatives.

The battle at Luoma City was Fu Chuan's bottoming out counterattack.

Xiong Chuchen's head was still in Zizhu Villa, and the noise of the rivers and lakes had basically disappeared.

The appearance of Qian Chengqi made everyone smell the conspiracy, not to mention that Fu Chuan was so young, he slaughtered nearly [-] riders overnight, and they were all members of the imperial court.This basically puts the contradictions and conflicts between the imperial court and the Hanjiang Sword Sect on the bright side.

In the confrontation between the two behemoths, the imperial court and the Hanjiang Sword Sect, other sects, including the so-called Swallowing Star Sect, are nothing more than dust.

If the Star Swallowing Cult had fear and awe, they should have retreated hastily after the news of Qian Chengqi's slaughter came.

However, Fu Chuan has already visited, and the traces of life here are obvious, and it will only take three to five days to leave.

"When the incident about Yangliuhe came out, they didn't run away. The story about me at Luomashi should have spread all over the world a few days ago, and they haven't run away yet. Because Mo Qiangwei died, they suddenly panicked, The burden ran away? This is unreasonable." Fu Legend.

He looked at Xie Qinghe's face, and wondered if his speculation was in line with his uncle's idea?

Xie Qinghe was pacing on the corridor surrounding the small courtyard, when he suddenly approached the south pillar, squatted down and touched it.

Fu Chuan took a closer look: "Blood stains."

Xie Qinghe nodded and stood up: "The scene has been cleaned up."

"Are they killed?" Fu Chuan was a little puzzled, "Who killed them? Before the cult left, did you kill them?"

"The possibility of Swallowing Stars being silenced is relatively small. Where's Wei Qin?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Wei Qin has been standing in the corner with his neck shrunk. Hearing this, he hurried forward: "Grandpa."

"Let's go to the house you mentioned, do you still know the way?" Xie Qinghe ordered.

"Recognized."

Wei Qin eagerly led the way.

Everything that happened so far was too weird, he was afraid that he would be disgusted by Fu Chuan and Xie Qinghe if he didn't do his part.

In broad daylight, Zheliu Street was so quiet that there was no one alive, only the sound of Xie Qinghe's clogs stepping on the stone slabs.Wei Qin trotted ahead and found a familiar doorway. He knocked on the door, but the door was locked, and no one came out to answer the door.

Xie Qinghe stood in front of the door and looked carefully.

Fu Chuan turned over and jumped onto the courtyard wall, and quickly opened the door from the inside: "Uncle, please come in."

The mansion transformed from a narrow dwelling is limited by its foundation, only spacious and bright, and it cannot be said to be grand.Wei Qin led the way in front, pointing and pointing: "This is the place where the front hall is dedicated and bait is offered. It should be burning incense. This layout is wrong..."

Fu Chuan also told Xie Qinghe: "These evil cultivators have their own set of rules and regulations. They worship incense in the house and worship stars before eating people. If it is as Wei Qin said, the layout here is quite similar to the manor I have seen in Yangliuhe .Now it’s a bit weird to turn this place into a study.”

The whole house is very large.

However, it seems that it has been carefully cleaned, and all the rooms have been rearranged.

Walking from the front hall to the backyard, it seems to be a very ordinary residence of a wealthy businessman. The front is for entertaining guests and discussing business, and the back is for family members.Each small courtyard is carefully arranged, and even from the utensils inside, it can be distinguished that the young master who lives in the east courtyard is a young master who studies, and the one who lives in the west courtyard is a young lady who loves embroidery and painting.

From any point of view, there is not a trace of a cult altar here.

Of course, no one.

"I can't even find the blood stains." Fu Chuan lowered his head and searched all the way, but found nothing.

Obviously, this house was the focus of cleaning, and every inch was cleaned to ensure it was perfect.

When cleaning up the pickle shop outside, the work was much rougher, so that a trace of blood was accidentally left on the house post.

Xie Qinghe stood in the garden of this dead house for a moment, a ray of consonance was drawn across his fingertips, and there was a faint sadness in the wind.

It is important to know that in the old city and old streets, wherever people have lived, there are traces of the dead, and there will always be some ghosts who linger.But Xie Qinghe tried to perceive the old ghost wandering in this world, it felt like a bronze mirror soaked in water vapor, the middle was wiped clean with a soft cloth, and there were faint water marks on the whole circle around the outside, only the house was the center. This area in the center is so clean that there is nothing there.

The house was cleaned up, even the soul was cleaned up.This defense is not Fu Chuan.

Fu Chuan has not yet entered the Tao.

Even if the soul of this place is left behind, Fu Chuan can't find any clues.

Is it me?Recognized?Xie Qinghe curled up his fingers and withdrew the thread of consonance: "Let's go."

"Uncle, have you found anything?" Fu Chuan asked.

Xie Qinghe shook his head and said, "Go directly to Longlin Guard."

"I still want to go to a few houses next door, maybe I can find some clues?" Fu Chuan was a little puzzled by Xie Qinghe's attitude.Why are you going to Dragon Scale Guard all of a sudden?Haven't investigated the matter here yet?

"I'm afraid the Dragon Scale Guard doesn't exist anymore." Xie Qinghe said.

Fu Chuan was confused: "????"

What does it mean that the Dragon Scale Guard doesn't exist anymore?

How could the emperor's pro-army and the dragon's reverse scale not exist anymore?
